This is the second funeral in his family

-. The Silver Cornet Band turned out
tonight and serenaded Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Crumit, at the residence of the
brides father, Mr.. Ed. Poor. -. "A rain
set in about nine o'clock. and poured
through the night.
FRIDAY.-Rained all day, most of the
time heavy. driving rain. The waters
are tremendously high, covering the bot
tom lands along Salt Creek. About
five o'clock this evening an alarm of fire
was sounded, and there was a stampede
towards the o. S. Depot. 1t was soon dis
covered that the lime-house of the Jack
son Coal Company was on fire. A large
number of barrels of lime was stored in
this small building, and the high waters
backed up until the lime began to ''slack,"
when the building took fire. The firemen
could not get to the building without
wading into the water, but in they went,
and after some lively work, succeeded in
putting the fire out. The Academy is
having successful session. :. :. Captain
Kir by, the Salvationist, is accounted one
of the ablest officers the Army has'had at
this place. -. There is talk of agitating
the question of railroad from the Ross
County line up Salt Creek to Jackson.
Some years ago the Columbus and Iron
ton railroad was surveyed down this creek
from this place. An excellent route can
be had, necessitating good many bridges,
to be sure, but an easy grade allthe way.
This route would tap good coal region,
the famous Jackson Hill Coal being very
abundant in hills along, and adjacent to,
the route. The hills of Liberty. between
the o. S. and the new route, could be
reached by a system of side-tracks similar
to those along the route between Jackson
and Coalton, and altogether this stretch
of road, between Jackson and Richmond
Dale, could be built easily and cheaply,
and made profitable. ... John Douglass,
of the Hunsinger store, tells
good one he heard on the street: A good
old farmer was talking about planting his
corn. 81 have watched the weather for
many years, and never fail on compliant
ing time. The rain came in, just as had
He was now ready to 60 to
planting-but the very next day tre-
rain set in, soaking the ground
so that it doesn't seem that it will dry in
the next three weeks. So much for signs
in this country.
SATURDAY.-Rain, and cold weather,
all mixed up. Our old frier d John H.
Pierce of Franklin, called to-day. Fruit
is still holding out against the cold wealth
er in his neighborhood. 49,. William ].
Davis and family of Franklin Valley, are
in town to-day. Mr.. Davis is still slight
ly lame from the fracture of his leg, a
year or so ago. Charlie Andres is
here getting materials for draft of a
addition to the Glen Roy School
House. Charlie is greatly amused at
correspondent writing from his place,
charging Andres and Patterson with
electing each other Clerk and Treasurer
of the Board -. Officers Martin and |
Jones stopped couple of fellows this
afternoon who were attempting to make |
a team run away in the streets. 1t seems
that there is an inclination towards law
lessness, on the part of few young men,
in these temperance times, and they
ought to be nipped as promptly as were
these two. The framework of the |
creamery is all-up, and good part of it
weatherboarded. The well, however, has
caved in, and will have to be dug over
again. "A portion of the Emma Shaft
mine, at Glen Roy, caved in, injuring
some buildings near, but causing no loss
of life.
SUNDAY.-Cold weather. The cream
cry building seemed to be the center of
observation to-day. ..... "A mission" Sun
day School was organized this afternoon
at Jones Hall, with Horace Jones, brother
of Ralph, as Superintendent. The attend
ance was good, including large number
of pupils from other schools. Uncle John
Garrett was appointed teacher of the
mems Bible class. This school meets at
